Not today.

No USDM preludes were sold with a LSD. The ATTS system in the Type-SH is not a LSD.

First a brief history:

The Prelude TypeS was sold from 1996-2000 in Japan has ATTS. It is rated at 220ps. The block and tranny are the same as the US TypeSH. They have the exact same gear ratios as all US 5th gen manuals. Block is stamped "H22A". No one makes an LSD to reapce the ATTS system in the ATTS-equipped tranny.

The Prelude S-Spec was sold from 199?-2000 in Japan. It is also rated at 220ps. It uses a block and tranny identical to the US Base manual model. Again, it has the same gear ratios as the US got. But the S-Spec tranny has an LSD instead of the open diff we got in the US. The S-spec model is a VERY rare bird. There were not many TypeS's sold in Japan, and even fewer S-Spec models. The block is ALSO stamped "H22A", like all other JDM H22As.


To find a H22a with a LSD you would have to get this JDM S-Spec version of the H22a. However:

1) Good luck finding one. The Prelude was an unpopular car in Japan. The S-Spec was the rarest version only produced in MY 99 and 00 I belive.
2) If you find someone who claims to be selling an "S-spec" changeover swap, How will you identify it to be sure you are not getting ripped off with a normal 200HP H22A with LSD? The S-Spec, like the TypeS, had a red valve cover, but that is simple enough to change... And the block stamping is just "H22A" like all other "regular" H22As...
